The AACE Mentorship program is designed to facilitate the transition from Endocrinology Fellowship training to Endocrinology practice in academic,
hospital, multi-specialty group, endocrine group or private solo office settings. The program attempts to pair emerging endocrinologists (Mentees) with established
endocrinologists (Mentors) by country and by practice type with the intention of providing wise practice counsel and life advice via internet or phone. Domestic mentors may opt to
work with non-domestic fellows if they so designate. In general, the focus of the program will be to link emerging and established endocrinologists with similar practice interests
from the same country.

Mentorship Communication Guidelines

The AACE Mentorship Program is designed to facilitate the passage of conventional practice wisdom from one generation of endocrinologists to the next without
restraint. Any abuses of this free-flowing relationship should be reported to the Director of Membership of AACE at 904-353-7878.
